There is your problem, you are defeatest...If it were impossible, then nobody else would have passed it.
Sander Rossel wrote: It's 40 multiple choice questions
At least you have something to select from. MC is a lot easier that questions where you have to 'describe' or 'explain' or 'prove' and are simply presented with a blank space to start writing.
Get a hold of practice papers and do them and keep doing them. I found the practice papers for my degree really helped to give you a feeling of what was coming your way and what was expected.
If all else fails, just keep rehearsing the magic phrase...."You want fries with that?"

When I get to describe something I can usually write at least something down that gives me points.
With multiple choice it's either good or wrong. And I'm more wrong than not (in this case).

I already hold a degree in art... Allright, maybe I better start rehearsing that phrase

Just because you passed the practice exams with 20/40, doesn't mean you stop doing them, you keep re-doing them until you get 40/40, that way the information is sticking in.

There are a lot of websites available.
What specifically are you studying?

I'm studying IT, but this course is about communications technology.
It's mostly math and physics that come together in hardware like modems, transmission towers, (mobile) phones, etc.

Yep, a lot of that stuff! Thanks for the link

After this course my inquisitive mind is a bit less inquisitive
Nah, I probably couldn't stop learning. I'll just stay away from math for awhile...

What is the school you are attending?
My degree is in electrical engineering and I took a communications course in school decades ago. The theory has not changed since then. It helped that I was into amateur radio because I knew what theory was likely to show up on tests, and what was used less often.
The communications exams I took had algebra and calculus. They were not typically multiple choice exams.
I don't know what to tell you other than to study the course material. I could give tips, but I might tell you to study things that aren't on the exam.
Do you have any specific questions?

I'm studying at the Open University, so I'm not attending anything. I do all my study at home.
Being into amateur radio would've helped me a lot. There's a lot about (radio)waves, frequencies, transmissing, AM, FM, PM (Phase Modulation), ASK (Amplitude Shift Keying), FSK, PSK and QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation).
Unfortunately, I'm not technical at all. I know how to switch on a computer and that's where my hardware knowledge stops. That is also the reason I started to study. I want to know more about computers and technologies in general (like email, networks, internet, hardware, etc.).
I started programming in .NET a few years ago, but before that I had little knowledge of anything computer related. I was a gamer, so at least I knew how to install software and troubleshoot some minor problems (with the help of my good friend Google, of course).
I can be pretty into something, so I learned a lot about programming in a short time. I wrote my first article here on CP after four months and won a prize in the first year. But I still didn't know anything besides .NET (and some general programming knowledge), so I enrolled for some OU courses.
After seeing all the math I have to do I'm not so sure if I want it anymore (I can get into anything, except math). The only problem with this course is the math really.
I should write an article about math and treat it like a programming problem. If I did that I'd know more about math than my study ever required. My mind is not ready for it though...

Good luck for you.
You have one more day to get ready for the exam, and just an advice: Don't eat hard boiled eggs before exam.
Don't mind those people who say you're not HOT. At least you know you're COOL.

A fair point - it can be speeded up to 10 minutes with only a 45% loss of fidelity - well within the published SLA
